Carly could not wait to return to Milton Keynes Theatre last night (18/02) to see the highly-anticipated Ghost Stories and here is her full review...
The experience
I want to see it again! What a brilliant night we had but you will have to go and see it for yourself to find out why! Being a massive horror fan this was perfect for me and the reactions around me were hilarious to watch from people literally jumping out of their seats to cackling with laughter! I must admit I was a bit anxious when we were told that once we were admitted if we needed to leave we wouldn't be readmitted, the claustrophobic in me had a little moment but it made for a really good atmosphere. I also really like the shows that opt for no interval it had a running time of 85 minutes and we were home by 9:30pm. If you are brave enough be quick and book your tickets now!
The story
When Professor Goodman, arch-sceptic out to debunk the paranormal, embarks on an investigation of three apparent hauntings – as recounted by a night-watchman, a teenage boy, and a businessman awaiting his first child – Goodman finds himself at the outer limits of rationality, and fast running out of explanations.
After exhilarating audiences for two years in the West End and across the world with record-breaking, sell-out productions and a smash hit film, Ghost Stories is "Genuine scary fun” (Sunday Times), a worldwide phenomenon more spine-tingling and fantastically terrifying than ever.
"I had to sleep with the lights on" (Metro).
